Here's what you need to know about lawn care in Albany: 

About Your Grass

While the best grass seeds for Georgia include both warm-season and cool-season varieties, warm-season cultivars grow best in Albany. They include: 

• Bermudagrass: This grass grows quickly in the South’s sunny weather and tolerates dry spells. Mow between 1.5 and 2.5 inches, fertilize frequently, and dethatch as needed.
• Zoysiagrass: Zoysiagrass tolerates shade, drought, diseases, and foot traffic, but may recover slowly. Cut it between 1 and 2 inches tall and dethatch every year or two.
• Centipedegrass: The care for this low-maintenance option is as easy as pecan pie, assuming it doesn’t get too much foot traffic. Mow it between 1 and 2 inches.
• St. Augustinegrass: This is the best grass for shady yards. To keep up with its quick growth, mow it frequently between 3.5 and 4 inches. Fertilize regularly and watch out for thatch.
• Bahiagrass: While some consider it a weed, this resilient grass type can create a low-maintenance lawn. Mow it between 2 to 4 inches to remove the seed heads.

How often should you mow your lawn? We recommend mowing your lawn once a week in the spring, summer, and fall. Aim to keep your grass under 12 inches, though the height ranges listed above for each grass type are best. Switch to bi-weekly mowing in the winter unless you experience turfgrass dormancy.
